I haven't seen snow very often since I live in the Phoenix area, but last year we had snow ( 3-5 inches or so) about 20 miles north of us. There was a traffic jam because of many people who had never seen snow in their life trying to get up there. It was like chaos and mayhem and I was in the middle of it, trying to get a few pictures....

I have planned to drive up to Sedona this winter, after they get some snow. Always wanted to take some pictures of those red rocks with a white cover on it.

LOL! If it were JUST what you showed, I'd say "no big deal" or "what a great excuse to take a day off." However, you posted other shots that were very sobering.

And just to show you that SoCal can get some interesting weather, here's a picture I took in March with the DS, and I think the Kiron 80-200 lens (might have been with a 50mm 1.7 - I don't remember). If it weren't taken with a Sony F717, I'd love to post a picture from January, 2 years ago.

Yeah, I know, But this is a typical suburban street, those trees don't usually droop that low. There are actually curbsand asphalt. No one wants that kind of weather, specially that early in the season. I like snow, but not when it knocks my power out for 8 days.
